The purpose of Philosophy Index is to present an accessible approach to philosophy, with interpretations of philosophical works and an overview of the basics in philosophy.
Aside from the philosophical works themselves, all content is written and maintained by myself, Colin Temple. I’m a philosophy undergraduate at the University of Ottawa. I started this site in 2002 of my own reserach, years before beginning my formal study into philosophy, as the subject has always been of interest to me. Naturally, as I continue my academic work, I will be refining and expanding this site.
This site contains several public domain works, whose authors are credited on those pages themselves. The philosophical viewes indicated here do not necessarily reflect my own, except in sections where the presence of commentary is specifically indicated. As this site was created by one person, it is subject to bias and error. Although I do my best to provide accurate information, please be aware that it is not supplied with any warranty or guarantee.
This site is not suitable to serve as the basis of academic research. While those studying philosophy may find this site useful in explaining interpretations of certain subjects, original texts and acredited sources should always be used for academic writing. Please also be aware that this site may present ideas and beliefs which are in opposition to your own, especially in areas concerning ethics and religion.
Thanks,
Colin Temple
